Activist and member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Aisha Yesufu, has criticised the party’s national leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, saying he appeared “insecure” and was acting as though he was in competition with the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Yesufu stated this in a post on X on Thursday while responding to comments made by Dickson during an interview on ARISE NEWS, where he defended the party’s leadership and addressed criticisms from some Obi supporters following the NDC primaries.
Reacting to Dickson’s remarks, Yesufu said she found a portion of the interview “painfully appalling” to watch, arguing that his first major media appearance after the primaries should have focused on reassuring party members and promoting the party’s candidates ahead of the 2027 election.
